My niece's first make-up pouch - It's off in the mail to her, along with a boatload of "trashy" (my mother's word) make-up for her to play dress-up with.

Gen X Quilter's Japanese Imports Swap - I've cut up my 56 charms and they're all ready to go. Even the selvage on these beauties was adorable :)

Moving right along:Spiderweb quilt - I've been making lots and lots of spiderweb quarters...at least that's what it felt like until I put them all together and realized I still need to make another 12 still. Yikes.

3x6 bee blocks - I spent yesterday afternoon working on making a sketch reality, something I keep sketching over and over. I'm not 100% pleased with the first result, which is based on four sub-units, that I haven't sewn together yet. I can't decide how I want to lay them out just yet. Which one do you like?

Option A

Option B

Option C

Super fun mini swap with Megan - I'm done sketching for this little mini swap Megan and I are doing, but now I can't seem to decide which one I want to make, since I made three different sketches, but at least I started to find some fabrics...

Goody bag swap - I cut out pattern pieces this week, but I haven't moved forward because I think my partner isn't a fan of my fabric choice, so I think I might have to go back to the drawing board on this one. I offered up another option, but I think it might be out of my partner's comfort zone. Maybe I need to go with a lighter color, maybe a natural linen...

Goody Bag main bag fabric option #2

Mending Mr. Dinosaur - I really think he's going to wind up with some shoes or at least some new "soles". The munchkin is thoroughly annoyed that I haven't tackled this just yet...

On hold:Single GirlSuper secret project

New:Birdie Stitches May block - This block will be a great break from spiderweb world this week! I'm looking forward to this one.

What are you working on this week? Go share it over at Freshly Pieced's WiP Wednesday! And what do you think of my 3x6 block-in-progress? I'd love to hear what you think, I really appreciate the input you guys share with me :)

OMG how busy are you?? I love that little pouch! And you know I love the bottled rainbows too! Your spiderweb is coming on great, a lot of work there! I think my face block is A really but they are all lovely. :-)

Wow, that's quite a list! How do you keep it up? i'm coming off a big wip list and I feel some stress relief from it. Love your makeup pouch and the fact that you included some trashy makeup. That's what cool aunts are for!Those ladybugs on the selvage are awesome! And I can't get over your spiderweb - really cool!I'm going to be the voice of opposition - I like Option B best! They all work though.

Well, you certainly have a lot of WIP going on!! I love the bottled rainbows quilt - I would love to try something like that someday! And your little pouch is soooooo cute! I love that! Everything is so cute, especially the fabric for your 56 charms!

I'm kind of digging option B! Although I think I have changed my mind about 3 times already! All are awesome options :) And I want to come to your house and steal your spiderwebs!! No no, ok not really, but those are seriously awesome! At least while you are making the last 12 you have something uber pretty on your design wall :)

Your bottled rainbow quilt turned out great. And I love the selvage on the Japanese fabric, how cute. Wish they would get creative here with the selvages like that. Aww get the feet on Mr. Dinosaur for the munchkin. Loving your spider web quilt and you did make a lot of progress with it.

Whoa - you've got a lot on the go! I recommend making a repeat mosaic of your block options so you can evaluate how they'll all look together. I'm leaning toward Option B, but a full layout will help....

Phew! what a busy, busy time you have had.Love the bottled rainbow quilt - I've just started this. Have put all my squares together, now just need to sew them to the batting and then start looking through my scrap stash to start the fun part!Option C for the 3x6 blocks

That IS quite a list! Sheesh! I don't think I've spent 2 hours sewing this week!I love your Bottled Rainbows quilt, and I love that it's done! SO PRETTY!!! :o)And I love your spiderweb quilt, too. I definitely want to make one of those. I did a block for a bee last year and my sewing area was one hot mess, but I really love the result! Maybe once my scrap basket fills up a little more. Great work this week, busy lady!
